MOBI files with indexes, and making a dictionary
Thanks for telling me about "Alt". I must read the documentation at some point!
I've started experimenting with converting to MOBI, using Calibre first of all. I had to modify Calibre to prevent it from turning all the GIFs into JPEGs, and I don't seem to be able to get Calibre to include an index in a MOBI file, though the same input did result in a working index in an EPUB file - working with Calibre's reader, that is.
Does anyone know about generating MOBI files with indexes for the Kindle?
I'd like to be able to search by just typing a word, without having to select "Search" from a menu first, and I don't want the words I'm searching for to appear in the text; I just want them to take me to the GIF image of the appropriate page. (Or quarter of a page. I'm going to have to split up the original pages to make the text legible without a magnifying glass.)
By the way, at some point I'd like to know how to make a dictionary for the Kindle that can be used for quickly looking up words encountered in other documents, like the English dictionaries that came with my Kindle. Does anyone know about that?
